Bought summer of 2019 for 00 and used once before selling the house and moving away from lakefront property. I'd love to try to downwind on Lake Champlain with it someday, but I got a whippet puppy last year and I don't think he'd be a good paddle boarder. It's a beautiful board and deserves to be used, especially when they're so hard to find.It's a Jimmy Lewis Searcher rigid paddleboard that's 12'6" long, 33.5" wide, and 6.5" thick with a volume of 363 liters. Since it's a Jimmy Lewis, who's a 50 year master board shaper, it's incredibly durable and light for its size. It only weighs 30 lbs. There's a great graphic of the construction at http://www.jimmylewis.eu/boards/searcher/
Because of its volume it will carry up to about 340lbs with good stability. It's great for larger paddlers or taking large dogs or gear.
Because of its stability it's a great board for fishing/touring or downwinding or just great for beginners.
It has a displacement hull that cuts through chop, helps it track, and makes it pretty fast.
The fin is an 8" JL Tracker fin. Buyer will have to buy a fin screw (). I'll keep looking, but I don't think I'm going to find it. https://smile.amazon.com/ALLPE-Surfing-Accessories-Stainless-Fin-Screw/dp/B07RB11Q39/ref=sr_1_7?crid=1ZS024B8HD92&dchild=1&keywords=sup+fin+screw&qid=1625512906&sprefix=sup+fin%2Caps%2C184&sr=8-7
It also has tie downs over the front and down the sides for tying down gear and a GoPro mount at the nose. This is not the newest model so it doesn't have the RAM mounts for fishing. It was, however, new when I bought it (old stock). It was virtually impossible to find even before covid.
It comes with RS Pro rail tape which cost and some added traction padding which cost overall (there's a lot left. If anyone's interested let me know). There are a few small scrapes or chips in the paint layer that are cosmetic and the purplish scrape I think is from the paddle and might washable.
